    Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

    Very good arrangements to pick up and drop at the airport. Our island host Cora was very polite, helpful and quick to respond to our queries. We had taken the bed and breakfast option. Excellent breakfast buffet. Deepana, our housekeeper did an excellent job and always with a smile. We enjoyed variety of delicious food at the various restaurants in the resort. Overall it was a very memorable and enjoyable experience for the three of us.

    Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.
